CIBC donates $1 million to CAMH's Redevelopment
On Tuesday February 19, CIBC announced a donation of $1 million to CAMH in support of the redevelopment of our Queen Street site. The donation, to be paid over 10 years, will support our Transforming Lives capital campaign, which will bring to life our visionary redevelopment and a new model of client care.
"As CIBC has a strategic focus on youth, we were drawn to CAMH because of the innovative and effective programming they offer to children and young people," said Christina Kramer, CIBC Executive Vice-President, Retail Distribution.
"With one in four Canadians being affected by mental illness or addiction, often young Canadians aged 15 to 24, it is clear that this is an important issue in our society," added Ms. Kramer. "Unfortunately, these illnesses still have a social stigma, often preventing people from openly seeking treatment."
